Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was stabbed in Worthing.

Officers were called around 2.30pm on Friday (18 April) to reports of an altercation involving two men in Rowlands Road, near the junction with Wordsworth Road.

Both the victim and suspect had left before officers arrived on scene, however a 20-year-old man from Worthing later attended hospital with serious leg injuries consistent with being stabbed.

Officers believe a number of people were present in the area at the time of the assault and are appealing for anyone who saw what happened, or who may have captured any relevant dash cam or doorbell footage, to get in touch.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police online or by calling 101 quoting serial 674 of 18/04.
